Montenegro's Europe Now Movement (PES) won 25.6 percent of votes in a snap election on Sunday, pollster the Center for Monitoring and Research (CEMI) said based on a projection of results from a sample of polling stations.
However, the PES failed to secure enough votes to rule alone and will have to seek partners in the 81-seat parliament to form the government.
"This is a great victory ... we will speak with everybody who shares our values," PES leader Milojko Spajic told reporters at his party headquarters.
The Democratic Party of Socialists (DPS) and a group of small allied parties, which ruled Montenegro between 1990 and 2020, came in second with 23.7 percent of support, CEMI said based on 98.7 percent of ballots counted in a representative sample of 400 polling stations across the country.
According to their own vote count, the DPS and its acting leader Danijel Zivkovic said they should have one deputy more than the PES.
Out of 15 parties and alliances that took part in the vote, nine will enter parliament, the CEMI poll suggested.
The state election commission is expected to announce the final results in the coming days.
